ABSTRACT: In Phase II, Infoscitex will focus on developing an innovative, robust, and efficient software system, HMM4D, which utilizes a dynamic 3-D human model to detect human threats and to predict human intention. In Phase I, we have achieved major accomplishments and findings on 3-D motion replication, dynamic shape description and analysis, and activity recognition based on shape dynamics. W ...

In this Phase II program Triton Systems will develop and optimize a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) system to meet the Air Force requirements for adhesion in the 2 8 pli range across a temperature range of -65degreesF to +250degreesF. In addition the PSA will be resistant to a variety of aircraft fluids including JP-8, oils, and de-icing fluids. Production of the PSA will be scaled-up to be p ...

ABSTRACT: The goal of this project is to develop, demonstrate, and implement at EAFB the EVASE:"Extensible Video Analysis of Symbology Events"Matlab toolkit. This system is based on the premise that it will learn symbology events during training by an expert operator, and then autonomously detect this symbology in long video sequences, resulting in a list of key events to assist the operator in f ...

The evolution of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) technologies and their integration into network-centric operations has provided significant advances in providing critical information to C2ISR operators and the Commanders that they support. However, these sensors gather so much data that the C2ISR operators are becoming overwhelmed and actionable intelligence is being lost in t ...

In this proposal we outline a binary-level tool automating the insertion/mapping of code snippets into application binaries in hardware-assisted software protection systems. All techniques will be developed with the objective of achieving the highest possible security and flexibility. The approach has several innovative components including sophisticated binary-level program analyses and program t ...

The Phase II goal of the Low-temperature multi-spectral MEMS projector project is to demonstrate a working prototype of a 4-channel (MWIR and visible RGB) flickerless scene projector operating between -35C and 50C. This multi-spectral projector is based the VLSI-membrane-mirror light modulator (VLSI-MMLM) technology which uses a membrane mirror to spatially modulate an off-chip light source. The ...

The Wireless Tire and Brake Monitoring System (WTBMS) is designed to take real time measurements of key tire and brake parameters during and immediately post landing and relay them to ground operators. This data will provide insight into the conditions experienced by Air Force equipment during landing, but more importantly will provide a quick and accurate way of making "go/no go" decisions on app ...

Triton Systems proposes to develop advanced micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) based sensor prototypes for detection of total tri-halomethanes (TTHMs) in the water supply. The sensor is capable of rapid on-site detection of TTHMS in water from low ppb to ppm levels. Measurements were validated with actual water supply samples of interest, in the Phase I program. The sensor is light-weight, ca ...

In Phase II of this SBIR program, Photonic Systems, Inc. (PSI) will demonstrate a navigation-grade gyroscope with improved performance enabled by a novel high-output-intensity, noise-reduced optical source. The source, which is being demonstrated in Phase I of this program, makes use of a wavelength-stable Erbium-doped fiber seed source, and provides relative intensity noise (RIN) reduction by the ...

Many defense platforms depend on GPS for precise navigation and targeting. Due to proliferation of inexpensive GPS jamming devices and emergence of anti-satellite capabilities, there is increased demand for sensor fusion algorithms which provide GPS-quality localization and are robust to GPS jamming, cutouts, and hardware failure. Our Phase I effort analyzed GPS/INS coupling architectures, and det ...
